(read whole thread, but this bit is really important) Germany recovered because of the Marshall plan, the Nuremberg trials and active denazification (sent the Nazis underground), and because companies like Volkswagen, AG Farben's spinoffs and Siemens that profited from war/slave labour survived

Time to speak out strongly and talk to your neighbors because this story crosses a line that borders into ADOLF HITLER Nazi depravity. Trump & Musk's DOGE thugs listed thousands of immigrants as DEAD at the Social Security Administration & stole EVERYTHING from them! Call Congress 202-224-3121 🧵

In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life. Wait, sorry, no. That's Mississippi.

This is why the Trump Administration included the following language in its affidavit today: Abrego Garcia is being “detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador.”

As many as 8 in 10 married women have changed their surname & no longer have birth certificates or passports to match their current legal name. The SAVE Act will strip these women of voting rights. In Virginia alone 1.8 million. In 50 States??? Tell your Senators. Oppose SAVE Act now: bit.ly/4hZ7BK7

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

Seeing way too many people suggest that if Trump decides to do this, then "nothing can stop him." That's both legally false and defeatist. Once we're talking real tyranny, which this would be, then certain constitutional remedies open up. The Founding Fathers knew this would happen.

Why would the President meet with (and allow into the country) a head of state who refuses to return a person sent to their custody in error?

This. And also, why wasn’t Abrego Garcia flown back to the U.S. on Bukele’s plane?

I am relatively plugged in — I am just discovering the extent of the attack on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on Governor Shapiro, and on his family. News media has utterly failed.

Trump’s trade war is all pain and no plan—and it's families and small businesses who are suffering from the rising costs. Republicans need to join Democrats and reverse these massive taxes on working Americans.

Trump inherited a historically strong economy and he is single-handedly destroying it—and Republicans are letting him. We have got to speak out.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Attempted murder of a Jewish governor and his family on Passover is not a headline story for @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com. I’m relieved that Shapiro and his family survived the attack.

Just saw data from Pew Research that said that 32% of men didn't read a single book over the past year. And, that's self-reported data so the number is probably much worse. This is why I don't argue with men. Too many of them are just going on vibes and testosterone.

DOGE already has cost tax payers money (at the very least $500B/year in IRS revenues, but that's before other huge costs are accounted for). And as I keep noting, Elon's $150B/year estimate is what some of the IGs who got fired were finding--w/o cutting services.

We’re heartbroken to learn about the arson at the Governor’s Residence. No family should ever have to wake up to that kind of fear, especially just hours after celebrating the first night of Passover. We’re deeply grateful that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe.
